Exactly The idea we should allow a free nation to fall to Russian invaders, just so we can throw extra money at health insurance executives, is laughable.
What’s ‘tanky’ is arguing for your own impoverishment, which is what you’re doing when you try to defend our country spending a trillion a year on war in ten other countries.
And then another 100+ billion on another country’s war, that we’re not even fighting in. That 100 billion could keep people cool in a heat wave, or fix a state’s broken power grid, or put clean water in Flint, Michigan. But no, you’d rather we neglect our own people instead.
War spending is 100% why we don’t have universal health care in this country, and we are the only country dropping a trillion-plus a year.
It is kind of funny that people throw around the word “tankie” so meaninglessly when the US has the largest military spending in the world by far and is thus literally the most “tankie” i.e. enforcing their will with military might.
The US spends more per-capita on healthcare than almost every other country. Making sure a free nation isn’t overrun by Russian invaders is not the reason the US healthcare system sucks.
Correction: The US spends more per-capita lining the pockets of health insurance execs than every other country.
